I have been blocked in by idiot fools who have parked too near the passenger side of my car THREE TIMES this week. OH has to reverse out before I can get in. On each occasion the other driver has had ample space on the other side, he just chose to park like a blind man.

Today....the other driver came back to his car whilst OH was reversing out so I could get in, he didn't apologise or anything, just loaded his shopping up as if nothing was wrong.

I think when a stranger acts towards you like an ignorant tosser...after the initial indignation fades, it's not that important.If a neighbour, or someone you know well acts in the same way, it goes deeper. They actually know you, and they can still treat you with disdain, but then at the end of the day.....who is the real tosser??

IDIOTS.

Sometimes it is the car parked other side of the 'offender' who has taken up too much space, so when they park they have to squeeze in between that car and yours... but by the time you come back, the first car has gone and someone else has parked there normally making the car next to yours look like they have parked unnecessarily close to yours...

But if your only 'problem' in life is that your other half has to reverse out before you can get in... you need to chill out a bit!!!

But one thing that is really annoying me at the moment is people walking slowly in front of me and when there is a 3 person wide area to walk in, they insist on walking in the middle of it and then meandering to the left and to the right just enough so they are taking up all the walking area and you can't get past them!

Happens a lot at the moment when I'm hurrying to or from work rushing for a train etc...

And another thing that happened about 3 months ago now but it still annoys me when I think about it... I was on bus approaching my stop for train stn... I was at the exit doors waiting and holding on to rail on the right of doors... then this little older woman got up to get off from a seat further along on the right of me... she shuffled along to where I was... but instead of waiting to my right, she sort of ducked a little bit under my arm and positioned herself a bit in front of me so she had secured herself the position of getting off first...!

But then to top it off... the doors opened... she stepped off in the middle of the door area blocking any left or right passing manoeuvre... AND THEN STOPPED TO CHECK HERSELF AND MAKE SURE SHE HAD EVERYTHING WITH HER!!!

BLOCKING EVERYONE ELSE FROM GETTING OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS!!!

Comfort yourself with the fact that their tosserness is not littered with smileys.

Oh wait...you tell me to chill out then follow it with your own little gripes, what makes yours worse than mine?

You still get annoyed 3 months after a little old lady inconveniences you for 2 minutes....I have been blocked in today (and another two times this week) by drivers who are not hampered by the car on the other side....but just don't have the sense to park straight in a considerable manner.

Good to know you allow the mask to drop, especially around the Holiday's ...maintaining that fakery must be very taxing.

Oh no, you're quite mistaken. I can be a proper c unt if I feel wronged. Don't know how you missed that one.So watch your back or I'll sprinkle your fat old arse with fairy dust.

Nope, that's your low bar favorite 'non-allowed' word to use and abuse {because as a MOD you do that} as well as providing more of your standard personal insults at whim - because as you've proven ...you do it so well Heavy is the head that wears the crown of 'PACK LEADER'

You're right, Syl, this is annoying. Even when people are parked properly, it's the devil's job to manouvre your shopping trolley along tight spaces and tight angles, to reach the boot of your car.

1. The amount of space allocated to cars is just too mean, generally speaking. Apart from spaces for disabled people, and mums with prams. Greedy car park owners try to squeeze in as many cars as poss, into a given space.

2. Sometimes there is a knock on effect - if one person in a particular row, parks unevenly (assymetrically), it forces others to do the same. If a car impinges on some of your space, you also impinge on the space next to you when you park. And so on. When he/she drives off, the visible evidence that was the reason for your awkward parking is gone ....so YOU look like the culprit. Blame the original person who caused the domino effect lol.

this is so common stupid old women that think they should go first then walk slowreally bad at the station I get off, at blocking the stairway compeletly fucks the flow of people etc. And there is a connecting train that people have to rush forAnd this same Dumb women tries to do it every day, I noticed the other regular commuters getting the shits with her too and purposely blocking her so she cant try and sneak her way to the front.

IF SOMEONE consistently parks you in, you could consider "souveniring" various parts of their car(s).

For example : mirrors, windscreen wipers, radio aerial, mudflaps..

Make them pay for their crimes !!!

AND, if somebody has carelessly blocked your driveway, and you must get out -- then you should have every right to move that car -- as long as you don't damage it excessively.. Knowing somebody with a 4WD or small truck would help. Even better would be a forklift.

If they do it regularly and habitually, why not call the cops -- and have it towed and impounded ?

I am over it now Jules... till it happens again.

Tonight we are going into town, and for the first time in decades we are getting the bus....off to see "Sweet Charity" and it's impossible to park anywhere in Manchester at this time of year.

Little annoyances often occur in real life....there is no harm in writing them down on the forum now and again, other people may agree, disagree, find them amusing, and most will have experienced the very same thing....so it's a valid way of communication.

You however just barge into harmless threads trying to score points over whoever is sharing....it is YOU Specs, who seems to have no idea what Holiday Spirit is, you are just too full of anger to realise that.

I'm really surprised at Veya. Who knows what that old lady is battling with just to get around. How about he does the decent thing, gives her is arm and asks if she would like some help, that way everyone will get where they want to go in good time. The young never realise that in a flash they'll be old too.

Nope, no need to save it, just did a search and found it {see the link} you and the MOD you follow are so often telling all of us how "we must allow free speech/opinions to flow because you'd not like this place to become a Stephford Wife forum" Just amusing how you need to throw that Mexican vile SLUR around when you're so saintly!

Had I saved up the times you trawl round this (and other) forums calling me 'Sly'.....I would need a very long page indeed to highlight them.

Is this your generation's version of, Father, I hate you!

well maybe our parents instilled in us that IF you don't work hard you get nothing.you pay for your mistakes and dont expect a hand out.

So we apply back to them. they deserve nothing (if they worked hard they's have already) should pay for their mistakes and should not be expecting handouts.

the Baby boomers refused to give future generation a hand up tried to push problem after problem onto future generation, so they can live an excessive lifestyle where they can be too lazy to upgrade their van and just keep polluting instead. they Have Absolutle no right now to ask for a hand out from the future generations when all they left us is debt and damage for an inheritance.

The first, and therefore oldest, baby boomers were born in 1946..The last, and youngest, in 1963..

Making their age range from 53 -->> 70 this year.

Unfortunately for veya's arguments, the great majority of the baby boomer gen' aren't enjoying anywhere near the benefits and rewards that many Y Gen' and "Millenial" whiners like to erroneously fantasise about..

It's currently the better paid X and Y gen' home buyers who are the main culprits continually bidding up houes prices, up here around this region.. While at the same time those self entitled/greed driven brats are often expecting to have overseas holidays and a new car every second year..

I have a problem with people who are inconsiderate in that they think they can block the whole of a walkway/footpath/tunnel/stairwell for other people who want to get somewhere quicker than they do...

If the path is wide enough for 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 people across... don't walk slowly in a group that takes up the entire width and blocks the path for everyone else who wants to get past at a quicker pace!!!

And another thing... if you are walking in a flow of pedestrian traffic... don't think that you can just stop in the middle of it for any reason... move out of flow of people... to the side... and then do what ever it is you thought was important enough to block up everyone else's journey for...!!!
